The best ever war movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2002)

The Longest Day is unique in that it presents the momentous events of 6th June 1944 from the perspective of those who actually took part, and with no slant.
It avoids the trap, fallen into by so many movies, of revising history, especially the usual Hollywood trend of over emphasizing the American contribution in the fashion of Saving Private Ryan, or U-571.
If your ONLY knowledge of this day in history is taken from this movie, you will still have an accurate impression of the events.
If you have never seen The Longest Day, take the earliest opportunity so to do.
